Saving on floor cleaning. Electoral dialogue in a modern despotic system.
- Hi!
- Hi!
- Listen, could you sign this protocol - that I am the president?
- Yes! Of course!!
- Thank!
- Please, Mr. President!
- Congratulations! You, now, already, during all your life ... uh-uh ... chairman of the election commission ... well, we'll see ... there are many pleasant positions ...
- Glad to. You can count on me, Mr. President!
- We need to ensure the decor ... So that the polling stations be open on time ... be closed ... To keep them clean ... The ballots should lie neatly ... So that everything is according to the rules ... Chairs for observers ...
- We are switching to electronic, to multi-day ... There are no bulletins, no observers - in the usual sense ...
- Ahhh ... It's a good idea! I praise ... Minimum difficulties! Maximum convenience! Comfortable electoral environment!
- Soon artificial intelligence will determine the will of voters based on metadata. There will be no elections in the usual form. Everything will be in electronic form. In the Internet space. The process will be convenient for voters to the maximum extent. There will be no voters in the usual sense either. Polling station floors do not need to be washed. Savings on wages of a cleaning women! And I will sign the protocol in favour of you at any time.
- The protocol should be electronic ... What if you will get sick or will get distracted? To sign, put an on-line robot - so that he could sign the electronic protocol instead of you ... Don't forget about the blockchain ...
- Yes, yes, this is a good idea, Mr. President!
- Well, do it! I will continue to improve the Constitution!
- It will be done, Mr. President.
- Stop washing the floors at the polling stations! People demand savings of means!
- Today I'll dismiss all the cleaning ladies!
- We have a digital environment!
- Democratic platform for the electoral cluster of the digital economy!
- Well, go ahead, otherwise the cleaning ladies have already filled the buckets with water ... They will start driving along the floor with rags - you will have to pay for these efforts - and these are small, but expenses ... of people's money ...
- Yes, yes, I am hurry, Mr. President! The digital economy must be economical!
- Yes!
